Hi Pat, Thanks for the offer of the state genealogy library if you do happen to find something you think I will be interested in I would appreciate hearing from you. I really wanted to find somebody that would take some pictures of the Arthur and Vick gravestones in and near Lufkin, TX. Don't know how close of cousins we are but quite likely cousins at that. I was the 7th child in a family of 16 children, 7 boys and 9 girls. My father Alva Lee Vick was 34 when I was born, he was born 21 Oct 1898 in Trinity County, TX, died 4 Oct 1972 in Albuquerque, NM. My mother Mary Evelyn Arthur Vick was born 11 Mar 1899 in Lufkin, Angeline County, TX died 7 Apr 1942 in Fort Stanton, NM. My grandfather James Albert Vick came from Lee County, TX and homesteaded in Richland, NM in 1916. My great-grandfather Joseph William Vick 1855-1944 moved from Lee County, TX and retired in Portales, NM for some reason when he died in 1944 he was buried in Richland, NM. I have quite a few ancestors buried in Lexington, Lee County, TX my grandmother Eva Magdeline Purcer 3 Mar 1880 - 7 Feb 1946 left relatives in Lexington, TX. My great-grandmother Margaret Ann Lyles Vick 1859 - 1932 also left relatives in Lee County, TX. I shall give you a big thank you in advance for anything you might come across and send to me. Regards, Jim Vick, Verona, Italy PS: I served in the US military (Army) here in Verona where I met and married my wife Giuliana Manini. I became total disabled in 1978 we moved here in June 1980 hand have lived here since. We still call Sierra Blanca County, Texas our home for voting.
